Men may properly be divided in
10 two general classes. One sits
down and looks out for something
to turn up, while the other goes to
work to turn something up. A ma
jority Of the first will keep town,
with all the natural advantages in
the world, from amounting to any
thing, while the other class, If they
are in the majority, will make a
town grow in spite of seemingly in
surmountable obstacles. You can
go into plenty of small towns to
look around, talk with the leading
citizens, and they will tell you of
the wonderful advantages of the
place, and they are sure the town
will grow sometime. Here is a good
opening for fruit canning factory,
lots of fruit; soil especially adapted
to its growth; good railroad facili
ties, and the business would pay.
What inducements would you offer?
Oh! this is such good point we
couldn't do anything in the way of
offering a bonus. Any man who
wants to invest in that kind Of bus
mess, If he would only come here
and see the advantages our place
has, would not ask any bonus. All
we have to do is to wait until such
a man comes along and then the
thing will turn all right. Anoth er
has special advantages for cream
cry; another foundry and machine
shop; another needs Touring mill
Or a wooden mill, and they sit down
and wait for something to turn up
in the shape Of man with capital
who is willing to take all the risks
and start up his business where the
whole community will derive ben
eft; but are not willing to give him
any encouragement except advice
and they would not give this if it
was of any value. And they sit
and wait and live along, their town
nearly dead, with only a local trade,
until these sell out or die and give
way to different class, who reaiiZ-
es the fact that there are thousands
of places waiting for something to
turn up, with some special advan-
tages for particular branches OF
manufacturing, and 60 to work and
}offer something else besides a good
location and advice. Mems judg'
ment may sometimes be at fault. A
place, from simply looking over the
field, may seem to possess natural
advantages for a particular line OF
manufacturing. But the investor
must take all the unforeseen chan
ces. Things unlocked for, circum'
stances o .er which he can have nc
possible control, may arise so that
even in O town that seems to have
all the natural advantages necessa
ry to success, the business prove q
failure. Not from any mismanage
ment on account OF the owner, bn'
simply from unforeseen natura
causes, and the man who has, per
haps, used his own judgment may
lose all. OF course the argument
can be made that he must take the
risks, that in all branches of bust
ness there is more or less risk
which those embarking are obliged
to take; but in manufacturing o.
almost any kind where the invest
ment of land, buildings and ma
chinery are necessary, there is Ger
tainly considerably more risk in

Accomplishments of an Armless Man.

There recently died at Potsdam,
St. Lawrence county, N. Y, Rich
ard Donovan, who was in some re-
spects one of the most remarkable
men in northern New York. TWEEN
ty years ago, when a boy, Donovan
worked in a -four mill. One day
he was caught in a belt, and re-
ceived injuries that necessitated
taking off both arms at the shoul-
ders. This misfortune did not dis
courage him, and after recovering
his health, he set about earning his
| livelihood as hest he could without
the use of hands or arms. Part of
the time be had lived alone, and
from the necessity of helping him
self he became wonderfully adept
in performing all kinds of work, u.s.
ing his feet and mouth principally.
he owned horse, taking the en-
tire care, harnessed it, fastened and
unfastened the buckles with his
teeth, and drove with the reins tied
around his shoulder.
Being in need Of a wagon, he
bought wheels and axles, and bull
a box buggy and painted it. HI
went to the barn one winter day an(
built cow stable, saving the tim
Der with his feet, and with tn,
hammer in one foot and holding
the nail with the other, he nailcc
the boards on as we'll as most mel
could do with their hands. He du,

American iuquisitiveness and in
genuity united have produced
thread made from the blossom OF
the common milk weed, which has
the consistency and tenacity of i'm
ported fax or linen thread and is
produced at much less cost. The
fibre is long, easily carded and may
be readily adapted to spinning up
on an ordinary flax spinner. 1t
has the smoothness and lustre OF
silk, rendering it valuable for sew
ing machine use. The weed is
common throughout this country,
but igrows profusely at the south.
The material costs nothing for Gull
tivation, and the gathering as cheap
ly done as that of cotton.

ABOUT SLEEPEKs.-Why they
speak of sleeping car as q ''sleep
er." "A sleeper is one who sleeps.
A sleeper is that in which sleeper
sleeps. A sleeper is that on which
the sleeper which carries the sleep
er while he sleeps runs. Therefore,
while the sleeper sleeps in the sleep
er the sleeper carries the sleeper
over the sleeper, under the sleeper
until the sleeper which carries the
sleeper jumps off the sleeper and
wakes the sleeper in the sleeper by
striking the sleeper under the sleep
err, and there is no logger shy sleep
er sleeping in the sleeper on the
